Awesome Haga Experience - I booked this fully expecting others on this tour. Lucky me, it was just me. I learned so much not just about Haga but about Gothenburg, the people of Sweden and its history. She was really friendly and knowledgeable about so much. Gave me some recommendations for places to get some great seafood before I leave. (Reviewed at 2024-08-17)
